Dear You Tube.... 29,934 views??? HOLY SMOKES!! Thanx for the love and the sharing. I am working on cleaning up this arrangement as well as 5 or so other holiday classics that I've worked on, so that I can get them on iMusic and Amazon and stuff. Please stay tuned! Again, thanx for the love and wishing you all the Happiest of Hannaka's, the Merriest of Christmas's, the most scintillating Solstice, a blessed Saturnalia, a caring Kwanza and for all of us, a shining Light to guide us all home. Where our hearts live. Peace.
@@saturdayplayer2492 Thanx so much! It’s really been a labor of love! I have 5 other pieces in various stages. Trying to decide if I should just release CotB solo or complete the EP. Thoughts? Happy Holidays my friend!
Haha! Nice! I've actually pulled it out of the mothballs because I have about 6 or so holiday pieces I did and I'm gonna try and remaster them for a release thru cd baby/iTunes/Amazon. Thanx so much for the encouragement!!! I have so many irons in the fire right now that overwhelm is my closest friend!! LOL! People like you keep me from sinking too far into that morass. Have a great Holiday and stay tuned!!
"Carol of the Bells" a world-famous Ukrainian Christmas carol written in 1916. It tells the story of a swallow that flies to an innkeeper and calls him to look at his flock of sheep, where many little lambs have been born, which means that the innkeeper is prosperous is where he can make a lot of money. The Ukrainians were wealthy before the Russians came and took everything away. On the night of January 22-23, 1921, the author of the song Leontovych was shot dead at the age of 43 in his parents' house by an agent of the Cheka secret service. The agent stole his victim's fur coat and shoes. th-cam.com/video/jk6GZe15FRY/w-d-xo.html
I have only recently found this out. There was always, to me, a singular joyful, yet determined feeling about this music, the updated Christmas lyrics notwithstanding. The biography of the author is an all too familiar story in too many parts of the world. When we all see what we’re blessed with (as the swallow said!) instead of mourning what others have and we don’t, the world will be a better place. Happiest of Holidays!
Hi Bert! Unfortunately, there's no sheet music to share... I neither read nor write music...everything is composed sonically. I appreciate the compliment tho and I'm glad you liked the arrangement!
Hey Bert!! No need for apologies..I"m honored! The thing is, all the trax were recorded using EWSG, Ocean Way Drums and such but were eventually "written" into sound tracks in ProTools. I will look into PT to see if it can export an "arrangement" of all the midi data by part. But as flattered as I am, (and I am!), I can't spend too much time on it because of other commitments. Stay tuned and I'll get back to you as soon as I can... Best!!
Hey Danny - Please let me know what you're going to use it for. I checked out ur channel and can see no reason why not, but if you wouldn't mind. I appreciate the interest!! Also, if you would, please include a cred and link? Look forward to hearing from you!
CJ Barna I make houses on the Sims 4, and I'm going to be doing a Christmas themed home, and would like to use your cover as music in the background. :)
Sounds great! Be my guest.. please just link to this channel and also cred. I may have some additional Holiday music coming soon. Meanwhile enjoy and happy holidays!

Hi CJ, nice arrangement! Do you by any chance share the sheet music?
Hi Bert! Unfortunately, there's no sheet music to share... I neither read nor write music...everything is composed sonically. I appreciate the compliment tho and I'm glad you liked the arrangement!
ok, respect :-) thanks for your answer anyway!
NP!
sorry to insist :-) I was just wondering if in EW Symphonic Gold you can export the arrangement as a midi file.
